I didn't see it as negative - just the truth - American moms don't nurse exclusively or long enough to prevent obesity. So what would be a way to slow the rapid onslaught of obese kids? Yes, get more moms to know why it is important to breastfeed exclusively for 4-6 mo and then do it. That means pumping for working moms, but isn't it really worth it? A lifetime of fighting fat vs. mom giving extra effort to feed only breastmilk for first 4-6 mo? Seems to be an obvivous answer to me!
